try using the search key function to search for your desired thread. I've tried suggesting to the staff of this forum to create sub forums but the feedback i got was, creating a subforum will slow down the traffic here due to multiple clicking to get to the desired topics. Instead they've introduced tagging system so u can tag ur topic and filtering topics as u desired to see them (events, travel, food)

I'm having hard time finding the area I want. Once I posted a thread about Gold Coast Australia, and it was merge into Australia thread, end up no response or should I say less responsoe. Even if there are, it will be messy, as I need to read through entire thread to get the responses meant for my question etc

I would suggest we could have a subforum divided into continents/countries. The in this forum, we could have specific thread for specific state/places for that particular continents/countries.

E.g.

Lowyat.NET -> Lifestyle -> Travel & Living -> Australia -> Gold Coast
Lowyat.NET -> Lifestyle -> Travel & Living -> Australia -> Melbourne
Lowyat.NET -> Lifestyle -> Travel & Living -> Australia -> Great Ocean Road
Lowyat.NET -> Lifestyle -> Travel & Living -> Australia -> Sydney
*
As stated above ^^ i did the merging, perhaps i should stop doing so much of it. next time u can stress in the first post that u do not wish ur topic to be merged so i won't merge them in any way thumbup.gif The world is very big so it is tough to create so many sub forums for all the areas, As lowyat.net is not mainly a travel forum. But anyhow I will keep this things in mind, perhaps in near future we can do something about. thanks for the suggestions.

Hi, Perhaps categorize as Countries is pretty tedious, how bout by Continents? E.g.
Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Then those general living & travel one will be at the main forum.

Just a suggestion though...

I've tried suggesting it to the staff. Creating a sub sub forum for different continents will deter readers from browsing through so many different pages. I guess the tagging system will help for now smile.gif

Hi everyone, I have also became a member of the SGIVC timeshare scheme in July.

Just wanna ask a question. I understand that we can sell our membership after 1 year joining, but is it just that simple?

P/S: I know that the rules and regulations are all in the agreement booklet, but I just find it too hard to understand.
*
not sure about selling... my mum joint the club. many had called her up to ask her if she wants to sell her entitlement, which is weird why is there so many request/demand for her to sell..

anyway i heard they are closing some of the operation office. just received and sms (from a 013 number) not yet call up and ask if it is a scam or what....

my experience in staying in swiss garden kuantan, they give you rooms that are not of the best quality.. garden view.. standard room.. so i feel there is nothing really great about that.. unless u travel extensively, no point joining a vacation club

Yah I have received the same sms on the 15/9/07. But if it's true, why are they closing some of the branches? does that mean that they are not profitting and have to close some branches in order to keep themselves alive?

Btw, how long has your mother joined the membership?

I will be paying for my 1st 2 instalments soon. After doing so, I may consider cancelling my membership if selling the membership is not viable. I would rather lose that deposit payment and the 2 months instalments than to lose out more in the future.

my mum joined the membership for almost 4 yrs i think...

great to hear that. i took that picture while trekking to the cliffs area. Its good that the island is clean now but perhaps my picture can serve a purpose of reminding people how it was back in 2006 and not to throw rubbish into the sea again smile.gif

usually travel agencies employ part timers (tour guides, freelancers, College students) to work in these fairs and it is possible that they give wrong information. But ethically if they are not sure they should consult the superior first. Like when i was working in Matta Fair, about 50 of us are part timers and 10 are full time staffs in the office.

This kinda situation shows that Malaysian travel agencies are not mature enough. plus government restriction for foreign own travel franchisers to enter malaysia, its hard to improve...
